Can I compare more than two players?

Yes. Add up to 8 players to one board and set how many of them you plan to start. The tool ranks the whole group and shows where the close calls sit, alongside the top pick.

Does it work for my league's scoring?

It reprices every player under the format set in the site header, including PPR, half PPR, standard, TE premium, and superflex. Connect a Sleeper league from the board and the verdict switches to that league's own literal scoring rules instead of a generic format.

What does the confidence figure mean?

It is the probability that the player you are told to start actually outscores the closest player left on your bench, built from each player's projected points and how much those points tend to vary week to week. A figure near 50 percent means the call is close; one near 100 percent means it is not.

How often is it updated?

Projections and injury designations refresh once a day. The timestamp shown above the board is the exact time the numbers below it were last pulled.

Yes. Running a comparison costs nothing and does not require an account.

Why does the verdict differ from my rankings?

A ranking is a rest-of-season opinion; this verdict is for one week only. A player can sit ahead of another for the rest of the year and still be the worse start in a single week with a tougher matchup or a bye.

Should I start a running back or a wide receiver in my flex?

Whichever one this tool ranks higher for the week you are setting. Points are compared directly across positions here, which is exactly what a flex decision calls for, and the higher-ranked player is the better start regardless of position.

Who Should I Start in Fantasy Football?

Who should I start in Week 2?

Week 2, 2026. Projections updated Sep 11, 2026, 8:00 AM EDT.

Each range bar runs from floor to ceiling on one shared scale, 0 to 20 points, so the bars compare across cards.

Value is the player's trade price. This week's points are the projection above.

The method

How the Beacon Breakdown start/sit verdict is calculated

Step 1: The projection
It starts with a weekly point projection from Sleeper, rescored under the format set in the site header rather than left in one generic scoring. That single adjustment is why a TE premium league or a superflex league can see a different lean than a standard league for the same two players.
